(these are old pics, I think I even posted them in the thread before)

While it's possible without, you really need a flash and a fast lens to get good pix of the hummers. Another problem with your two images, is back lighting. It's not helping your cause. Well, in a way it is, but overall it's better not to have all that light in the background of your images.
